Do you mostly drive in 2H or 4H?

Been driving Bronco for about a week or so, and usually drive in 2H. But tried 4H and didn't really notice much of a difference (dry normal conditions). Curious if most are driving normally with 4 wheel, or two wheel?

4A if you want to drive around town with all wheels available.

2-High.

4-Low / 4-High is for off-road and low-traction scenarios only. You can also use 4-Auto (if you got the Advanced transfer case), but it is rarely necessary and does put some additional strain on the drivetrain when the computer guesses wrong.

When it doubt, use the GOAT modes.

This.

And to add, 4L is absolutely only for low traction, low speed off road situations. Think scrambling for traction, or in mud, etc.

Perfect. Glad I asked. 2H, unless I need extra traction on trails or wet pavement. No 4A on my OBX.

4H is for off road only, unless you're in snow on the highway. 4auto, if you have it, is for slick road surfaces. 4H is off road only. Did we say that 4H is for off road only? :)

I don’t use 4A or 4H unless I lose traction. 2H does well.
